Dearly Loved….
June 24, 2007
My firstborn was baptized this afternoon… There is nothing sweeter than watching your husband baptize the daughter he led to Christ.
It’s worth it brothers, It’s worth it friends
To know your maker, To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved…

I would love to hear from you!
Heather-
What a blessing! And to have your husband be able to do it is so precious! I am so glad she knows the Savior at an early age!
Praying for you daily, dear!
Shari
That’s awesome!
I remember when my dad baptized me. I was 7. It was also in a backyard pool.
Sounds like your weekend has been amazing :) I’ll try to catch you before rad Tuesday. Tomorrow is John’s birthday, and he seems to have us fully planned out for the day if I’m feeling up to it.
Love you- hugs to Easton!
Praise the AMAZING GOD!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations! What an amazing day! What a heart-fulfilling thing to witness in your daughter! Praise be to God.
How precious. My husband baptized our daughter a couple of years back, and it was the most sweet moment for me. I can see it was for you too. :)
JoAnn

Angels are singing….AMEN.. What a privilege and honor for your hubby.

Praise, praise, praise!

What a special day! Such a milestone! Tell Easton how proud we are of her.
Thinking of you!
Praise God! What a truly memorable moment- for everyone!
Heather, how beautiful! What a wonderful gift to your whole family, and the Kingdom. Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful day on earth, Heather. What more can a parent experience then watching your child accept Christ and having their father do the honors. The angels are singing.
I will keep her walk with the Lord in my prayers as I do my grandchildren who have been baptized.
Blessings and Hugs,
Norma
How precious! My husband was able to perform his first baptism a couple of months ago and it was our firstborn son! A mother couldn’t ask for anything better from their children but to know they are saved and serving God. Praise Him!
That is sweet! Just Thursday, our almost 5 year old grand-daughter, called me to tel me she had asked Jesus to come and live in her heart! Precious memories!
Connie
Awesome, awesome, awesome! Congrats Mom, you MUST be sooooo proud!!!
AMAZING! So glad to hear Him blessing you this way! ((((hugs))))
Heather, I just had to comment on this one… what an awesome and amazing blessing!!!
3 John 4 “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.”
Oh my…. tears this morning…but Praises for the Lord

How Awesome Easton!!!! Congratulations! Love you girl! Will be seeing you guys soon!
Aunt Cathy!
Those are terrific pictures. How special for you and your hubby! My Dad led me to the Lord when I was nine years old, so todays post struck a chord with me. Your little girl will hold these parts of her life closer to her heart as she gets older and realizes how few people in the world have parents who would share the gospel with their children. What a blessing! I am pregnant with my first,and look forward to days like this!
By the way, how did you manage to get that child to look EXACTLY like you?
Awesome day. Great memories. Easton will carry that with her forever. What a blessing.
You, your mom and daughter all look alike.what a precious memory!
May God bless you and your husband for walking in the Lord and leading your daughter there also! My husband baptized our son last November and it was the most special day! I will be praying for her to be strong and couragoeus in her walk!
Love, Terri Sue
Awesome! Easton sounds like a strong young lady, just like her mom.
The Angels Are Singing… Glory Be To God…
Amen, My husband just baptized our 13 year old 2 weeks ago. He also led him to the Lord. what a blessing being able to lead your own child to the Lord. He as well as your husband will never forget it!
beautiful !
Dear Heather,
A few weeks ago you read about leaving your legacy… I think these photos say it all, I pray my legacy will be as effective to those around me as yours is. You truly are an inspiration and I thank God for you and your family, and pray he will continue his blessings in your lives.
Love Adele

I think Girly-Girl is going under this summer. You’re right. There ain’t NOUTHIN’ better than knowing your children are following God!
That’s so cool. :) Praise the Lord!
I am SOOOO happy for your family!! How AWESOME to have your daughter now become your sister-in-Christ!!!
I told the Lord the other day that the one thing that would make me happier than anything on this earth would be for Him to save my daughter!!!
Thank you for sharing this GREAT news!
His,
Mrs. U
How wonderful!!!
That right there is the greatest news I’ve ever read on your blog. More than your doctors’ appointments, more than the blessing of the contributions for you, more than the outcome of your treatments. Watching your daughter decide to put on Christ is such a momentous, glorious occasion worth a party and then some, especially since the angels in heaven are already having one now.
And welcome to the family, Heather’s girl. It’s really nice to add to the family reunion!
Oh that is so nice that she was baptised Heather!
My though, you don’t look old enough to have a child that age!!
She must have kept you young!
My husband and I could never have children so what I do to make up for it is pick up a car full of kids every Sunday for Sunday School!!
Such nice pcitures..Love Terry
